Anyone worthwhile out there?

Andrew Moore from PA just got delisted FYI.Retirements, delistings and trades

Apparently Moore, like the Bulldogs' Jarrad Grant and quite a few others, was shopped around during the trade period but no takers.

There are three delisted player Free Agency Periods over the next month with the first starting on Saturday 31 October and ending on Monday 9 November.

    I can't see us being interested in any of these guys. We have only 3 or 4 selections in the draft at this stage, and a couple of rookie promotions which I think are more important.

    The only exception would be if we paid out Terlich, and replaced him with someone like Moore, but it won't happen.

    If we wanted a proper crack at finals next year, I wouldn't be opposed to bringing in James Kelly or Jed Adcock for a year or two to see if they can give us some Daniel Cross-esque experience. One year from these guys is probably more use to us than another year of Terlich in the seconds.

    However, it looks like Mahoney isn't interested in picking up any DFA (he said that before the recent delistings of Moore and Grant, though).

    Will be interesting to see if Jamar gets a run anywhere - surely a team like Essendon could use an extra ruckman.

    If we wanted Moore it would've been part of the Toump deal.

    I thought that it was talked about at one stage?

    Grant played 13 games this season in a good side and was shown the door. Someone will give him a run, possibly Carlton as a DFA.

    Moore is an interesting one. Potential rookie list candidate?

    i'm a big fan of andrew moore.

    as we all know, he was the guy who broke blease's leg in a kick to kick of school footy, plus he was melbourne supporter as a kid too.

    he's a big body, very tough in the clinches, has had excellent sanfl form for two seasons, and when he did get a go for port adelaide didn't look out of place - his 2014 finals series was pretty good.

    Mahoney has said it's unlikely we will pick up any delisted players, very happy about this, Grant & Moore are list cloggers

    I'm hoping they put J.Hunt on the rookie list, as I don't think he's signed up yet.

    That will leave us with 1 more player we can pick up.

    If we we're going down the Delisted FA path, I wouldn't mind us looking at Redden from Port. He will be a good back up to Gawn and Spenser, and only 24yrs old which is young for a ruckman. Put it this way, we need another Ruck through this path or the draft. We can't go through the whole season with 2 genuine rucks. That's my thoughts anyway.

    I really think the powers game style didn't suit Moore, in a more contested side i think he'd prove to be a solid AFL player.

  • Quote

    I really hope we have another good look at Moore.

    Fits the age bracket. Has skills. Hard body. Wanted to come to the Dees at the time he got drafted by Port.

    Pick him with, say, pick 160 in the national draft.

    I think we are fine for ruckmen.

    Not only do we have Gawn and Spencer, but Max King showing promise in the VFL, if we need a 3rd backup, we could easily give me a run and see how he goes

    He's DFA - you can take him before the ND.

    It's all about list spots at this point.

    He played 19.

    I hope we don't take any.

    no DFA's this year for us.

    We have bolstered our depth the last 24 months and dont need to add any NQR castoffs from other clubs. A good sign the list is improving.

  • Quote

    Any players from that list we take will be in the rookie draft rather then as a DFA.

    We certainly need another ruckman, so if we miss out on Nuyon in the draft, then we'll likely rookie Redden or Moller.

  • Quote

    We're Jamar and Fitzpatrick down from this year so i think we need another ruckman. If Gawn and Spenser go down, we're rooted. I don't think King is an 80% game time ruckman. He's more your back up who can go forward in my opinion.

    The Hawks were targeting Fitzy in the Delisted Free Agents list.

    We help facilitate that by allowing the Hawks to pick him up in the draft for pick 94.

    A pick we just won't use. There must be a pay back somewhere?

    Have the Hawks got one that we may be targeting?

    Pretty sure I saw that pick 94 mentioned in the category B rookie listing of Joel Smith. Which suggested to me at the time that the Mahoney knew we wanted another pick to get him on the list so worked out something with Hawthorn knowing they wanted Fitzy.

    Pay back for Pick 94? There is nothing else to that trade other than a great club valuing a new recruit by getting him a week before they had to.

    There is no need for a pick in the ND to put someone on the RL.

    Again, nothing to see here. We were just allowing them to show what good clubs do to show recruits they value them.

    Nah. The way I read it is the Hawks were paying us back from when we took Matt Jones off the Box Hill list.

    Zac O'Brien should get picked up by someone if he's done being a DH. Hopefully not us though.

    • NON-MFC: Round 05

      Gather Round is here, kicking off with a Thursday night blockbuster as Adelaide faces Geelong. The Crows will be out for redemption after a controversial loss last week. Saturday starts with the Magpies taking on the Swans. Collingwood will be eager to cement their spot in the top eight, while Sydney is hot on their heels. In the Barossa Valley, two rising sides go head-to-head in a fascinating battle to prove they're the real deal. Later, Carlton and West Coast face off at Adelaide Oval, both desperate to notch their first win of the season. The action then shifts to Norwood, where the undefeated Lions will aim to keep their streak alive against the Bulldogs. Sunday’s games begin in the Barossa with Richmond up against Fremantle. In Norwood, the Saints will be looking to take a scalp when they come up against the Giants. The round concludes with a fiery rematch of last year's semi-final, as the Hawks seek revenge for their narrow loss to Port Adelaide. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • CASEY: Geelong

      There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

    • REPORT: Geelong

      I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
